Game Effect Challenge

About this challenge

We are excited to introduce the Game Effect Challenge – a three-month-long challenge for creators and VFX artists to showcase their creativity and technical skills in game effects. This challenge is the perfect opportunity to push your creativity to new heights, experiment with interactive mechanics, and build unique gaming experiences using Effect House.

In addition to the main challenge, we will introduce sub-challenges throughout its duration, giving you even more chances to win prizes and gain recognition.


What are sub-challenges?

Sub-challenges are mini challenges designed around the latest trends and viral effects, offering extra opportunities to show off your skills and win prizes. Each sub-challenge will focus on different themes of game effects, encouraging you to experiment with new mechanics, interactions, and visuals.
